Chapter 59: Returning Home

"Sister Ping, why don't you sleep for a while, we still have a long way to go!"

"Okay, then I'll squint for a while, and then call me when it's time for you."

"Gotcha! You go to sleep! ”

On National Highway 103, a van car is speeding from Tianjin to the capital airport.

After a busy day of interviewing in Tianjin yesterday, Zhao Ping got up early in the morning and rushed to Beijing with reporters from Tianjin TV and Fan Daily, because if I went late, I was afraid that I would not be able to squeeze in.

"I don't know if Sun Zhi's leg injury is healed, Yang Xiaoping and whether they have grown taller..."As soon as Zhao Ping closed his eyes, he saw the immature face in front of him two years ago.

As a reporter of "Football Weekly", Zhao Ping is very familiar with these Jianlibao members.

In the past two years, "Football Weekly" has "exposed" the experience of some Jianlibao players in Brazil from time to time. Ou Chuliang's gentleness, Zhang Xiaorui's self-confidence, Zhang Ran's cleverness and wit, Wang Wenhua's cleverness and ease, Li Jinyu's passion, Li Tie's reticentness, every time I see the report of Jianlibao students in the newspaper, the fans all watch it with relish and applaud.

Although some peers used the injuries of Hao Wei and Yang Xiaoping as a reason to discredit Jianlibao, in fact, in this era of simple folk customs, more fans are still very concerned about the health of these two children.

"Two years have passed in the blink of an eye, and these young men have grown into little adults!" Zhao Ping read the names of each player and gradually fell asleep.

In her dreams, she dreamed of the big military parade in 1984.

It was held after the Cultural Revolution and when great achievements were made in comprehensive reform and modernization, and it was the first time that China publicly demonstrated its armed forces in the context of reform and opening up.

Chairman Xiaoping is not tall, but he is very personable, and his kind of self-confidence is transmitted to the commanders and fighters with great strength and encouragement.

"Hello comrades!"

"The chief is a good !!"

"Comrades have worked hard!"

"Serving the people !!"

Chairman Xiaoping's cordial greetings and the resounding replies of the officers and men under review converged into a huge wave of voices like mountains and seas, which resounded throughout the 10-mile Chang'an Avenue.

“... All personnel must always remain vigilant, constantly improve their military and political qualities, and strive to master and enhance their knowledge and ability to deal with modern warfare..."

“... Long live the great People's Republic of China! Long live the great Communist Party of China! Long live the great Chinese People's Liberation Army! Long live the great unity of the people of all ethnic groups in the country!"

After Chairman Xiaoping's speech, the first to step onto the starting line of the parade was the Chinese People's Liberation Army honor guard composed of commanders and fighters of the army, navy, and air force, who guarded the bright red "1 August" military flag and took the lead in entering Tiananmen Square.

Such a neat military appearance shocked foreigners all over the world who watched the parade, and they finally felt that the sleeping lion of the East had completely woken up.

"What a handsome boy!"

"This is the backbone of China!"

Zhao Ping's intoxicated gaze swept over the team in front of him, and suddenly felt that the leader's face was very familiar, "Huh? Ou Chuliang? ”

Zhao Ping shuddered and woke up from her sleep.

"Sister Ping, don't worry, you will be able to see Ou Chuliang soon!" Xiao Zhang, who was driving, haha, "It's really time for you to wake up, I was just about to call you!" ”

The van flicked its tail and fell into the zoned parking space.

Zhao Ping hung her press card around her neck, straightened her appearance in front of the small mirror, and walked out of the van with a microphone.

"We're reporters for Football Weekly and Fan Newspaper, and that's our press card."

After the inspection, the staff gave way to the VIP lane behind them.

When Zhao Ping and the others came to the pick-up hall, the plane had already glided down with a huge roar. Under the watchful eyes of fans, journalists, officials, parents, students and other people from all walks of life, the landing plane successfully released the landing gear and began to taxi on the runway.

Seeing the successful landing of the plane, the parents present all patted their chests and sighed.

By this time, they could finally put their hearts back in their stomachs.

The plane stopped slowly, and the students with bouquets hurriedly ran into the airport and stood in two rows according to the pre-arranged route to welcome the return of Jianlibao "soldiers".

"Lao Liu, who do you think will be the first to come out?"

"Do you need to ask? Of course it's Ou Chuliang, he's the captain of Jianlibao! ”

"Tsk, maybe oh, if it's Zhu Guanghu, he's the head coach."

"You can't say that, according to what you say, then it could be Zhang Jian and their team leaders!"

The moving staircase was already secured to the hatch, and everyone closed their mouths as they watched the hatch open from the inside.

However, the first person to show up was not a player, not a coach, not a team leader, but a smiling flight attendant.

"Alas! It turned out to be a flight attendant! ”

"What happened to the flight attendant? It's pretty looking! ”

After the disappointment, people continued to stretch their necks and stare at the gate.

At this time, the temperature in the capital has reached 35 degrees, and people's emotions have become as hot and dry as the temperature. Many parents are subconsciously moving forward, and the security guards are also trying their best to maintain order.

At this moment, a blonde foreigner peeked out of the hatch. I was stunned when I saw the scene outside the plane, and I was so frightened that I stood still.

“OH MY GOD! ARE THESE CHINESE GREETING ME? ”

"Bob, for God's sake, get out of here. Otherwise, the young men in red clothes in the back will squeeze us down! Another foreigner urged behind him.

Since Jianlibao was returning from Europe, there were many foreigners and Chinese returning to China on the plane.

One by one, the tourists stepped out of the cabin door and stepped off the plane, and the parents in the crowd were already looking forward to it.

"Child, where's my child?" Hao Wei's mother said anxiously.

Finally, a familiar little head popped out of the hatch. As soon as the white young man in redwood pants walked up the steps, his eyes lit up, and he waved his hands loudly and shouted, "Dad, Mom, I'm back!! ”

"Little discussion, my little discussion!" In the crowd, the deliberating mother waved her hand and jumped to her feet and shouted. Shang's father accompanied Shang's mother, although he did not act excessively, but his face also showed a relieved expression.

After the discussion, one after another tall, childish smiling faces but clearly written mature Jianlibao team members walked out of the hatch, and after going down the stairs, they took three steps and made two steps, and threw themselves into the arms of their relatives in the second row.

Returning to their parents' arms after 20 months, these young teenagers couldn't help but shed two lines of tears.

Zhu Guanghu, Liu Zhicai, Li Hui and others also slowly stepped out of the plane, and the pain of lovesickness after 600 days and nights of being away from their relatives in the motherland was finally resolved. Waiting for them were bouquets of flowers and smiling faces.

The big man Jiang Tao put his left hand around his mother's neck and his right hand around his father's neck, and he didn't let go for a long time. Facing the camera lens, Jiang Tao kept smirking, and Jiang's mother smiled while wiping her tears with a handkerchief.

After Sui Dongliang saw his parents, he put the luggage on the ground, and Sui's mother kept holding her son's hand, looking left and right, and then looking, no matter how you looked, she couldn't get enough.

"The sea, you have grown so tall, woo woo woo..." Zhang Yonghai and Shang Yi were the two shortest members of the team when they left, and now Zhang Yonghai's mother looked at Zhang Yonghai, who was half a head taller than the child's father, and couldn't help but burst into tears.

At this time, Xiao Wang's camera keenly captured a little boy holding flowers. Looking at a young man in the crowd walking briskly towards him, under the urging and encouragement of his father, he bravely stepped forward and held the flowers in front of his chest with both hands: "Brother, welcome home!" ”

"Huh! Brother, thank you! Li Jianyi picked up his younger brother, walked quickly to his parents and said, "Dad, Mom!" ”

Two simple words once again made a couple's eyes wet.

"Little friend, why did you send flowers to your brother!" Xiao Wang took the opportunity to ask.

"My brother is a footballer and a hero!" The little boy in Li Jian's arms said proudly.

Zhu Guanghu did not have a family to greet him, but the families of Li Hui and Liu Zhicai came.

So when Li Hui and Liu Zhicai were busy reuniting with their relatives, the reporters had no choice but to surround Zhu Guanghu, who had dark cheeks and was a little emaciated.

“... To be honest, I'm really excited. Fortunately, I brought the children back safely. ”

“... After so long, there is nothing happier to be able to set foot on the land of China again! ”

Except for a few parents who were far away, most of the children's relatives came.

And some of the players and staff who were not greeted by parents were also surrounded by reporters and fans.

Zhao Ping didn't catch one and interview one like other peers, she crossed her feet, still staring at the cabin door.

Finally, beside an old man on crutches, he saw a teenager who was also dressed in a redwood. He smiled at the stewardess beside him after exiting the cabin, and then slowly walked down the steps with the old man in his arms.

At this moment, infinite energy erupted in Zhao Ping's body. A weak woman in high heels actually squeezed through the layers of crowds in front of her, and rushed to the young man with a microphone for the first time.

After the young man said goodbye to the old man, Zhao Ping handed the microphone to the young man for the first time, trying to suppress the excitement in his heart: "Ou Chuliang, do you still know me?" ”

Ou Chuliang was stunned, and after seeing the face of the person in front of him clearly, he showed a smile like a spring breeze: "It turned out to be Aunt Zhao, it's been a long time." ”
